Theft Policy

If an attempted theft of library materials is discovered, the patron will be given a written courtesy warning for a first offense. Subsequent offenses will be referred to the Dean of Students for disciplinary action. The sanction(s) recommended will be restitution (if applicable) and disciplinary probation.

The theft of library materials compromises the library collection, deprives other library users of materials, and constitutes both an act of theft and a lack of community concern.
